ANNOUNCE: LyX 1.4.2 is released

Public release of LyX version 1.4.2
===================================

We are pleased to announce the release of LyX 1.4.2. This is a bug fix
release that improves performance, stability and native OS support.
Notable new features include:

- LyX now automatically uses file viewers and editors set at OS level
  [Windows and Mac OS X only].

- The windows installer has been completely rewritten.

- A new function buffer-toggle-compression (and corresponding entry in
  the Document menu) has been added to change whether the file will be
  compressed on disk or not.

- A "LaTeX (pdflatex)" output format has been added. This new output
  format produces .tex files that are suitable for pdflatex, including
  figure conversion to png, pdf or jpeg instead of eps.

See the file RELEASE-NOTES for some known problems in this release.

In case you are wondering what LyX is, here is what
http://www.lyx.org/ has to say on the subject:

   LyX is a document processor that encourages an approach to writing
   based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance. It
   is released under a Free Software / Open Source license.
